This passage will discuss the relationship between the formal rationality and the essential rationality in five chapters.In order to research Weber's rationality proposition, I will begin with the two modern difficult problems based on rationality paradox. In the first part, it will be Weber's social diagnose when he faced several social problem coming with western society's rationalization process; in the second part, I will list the particular differentiation of the conceptions of rationality family, and it will be the rationale of this paper; in the third part, I will take apart the contradiction of the formal rationality and the essential rationality; in the forth part, it will be the main idea of this paper: get rid of value's worth, only consider with the research of experience, formal rationality and the essential rationality take on the proper social stain. In the end, the fifth part try to trace out the resolve approach of Weber's social rationality proposition.
